He Grasps the Heel

Jacob's troubles are as real as they are inexplicable. If he could only trace these physical manifestations to their source, he could fix what's ailing him. However, everyone's giving him conflicting advice, from medical doctors, to friends, to psychiatrists and past lovers, they've all got answers that aren't really answers at all. The fevers, the vertigo, the testicular pain, and the need to find the right bottle of pills, get a good night's rest, and squash those ticks and spiders are driving him slightly batty. Maybe it is all in his head after all, but he'll be damned if he can find anyone or anything with the proper solution-even if it takes him seven or fourteen years.
